Devcon Plastic Welder(PERMATEX has similar).  Check "active"
ingredients for   Methyl Methacrolate.  Different than the syringe
epoxies, and bonding strength is like 3000# after a 24 hour
cure.  Sets up in 5 minutes at 70 degrees F.  Stinks while curing,
but you'll get over it.  Best part; one syringe should do your job
and have plenty left over.  Less than $3 a tube unless you have to go
to Ace or Tru Value to get it.  Wal Mart usually sells one of the brands.

Good luck
